>"75% of unarmed victims killed by police are white"
>"unarmed blacks are killed by police 25% - 33% of the time"
Wouldn't math mean that the second statement can't be more than 25% if the first statement is true? And considering there are more ethnicity than just white/black, the numbers in that second statement should be even lower.
Unless of course you meant to say something completely different in that second statement.

Show thread

I got a bit heated in my last post, but I'm so annoyed at how people mindlessly go against the government, as if the threat to our liberties actually is coming from there currently.

Actually think for a second, when was the last time the US government, or Trump, got someone fired because of hate speech or "online harassment"? When was the last time the government got someone to make public apologies/flogging themselves for saying "all lives matter"? When was the last time the US government had any impact on the current "culture war"? When exactly did Trump force anyone from the video game industry, comic industry, movie industry, board game industry etc. to censor or change content to fit with the government's political agenda? When was the last time the US government created political propaganda content and demanded you must watch it, or else you're not a good citizen?

Can we actually be honest for a fucking second, and stop blaming "muh government" like a bunch of retards, when "muh government" is more irrelevant than ever.

Here's the thing though. No matter how much BLM type activists claim that they're concerned for the rights and lives of everyone, that they're not saying that anyone else's lives don't matter, the reality is their rhetoric, their actions, their politics, everything is centered around "black" identity, "black" lives, "black" statistics and body counts.

They didn't start the movement by saying "corrupt and incompetent cops are killing people". They didn't start by saying "the government is taking away everyone's rights". From the very start they only framed everything with a racial lens. And heck, maybe if the statistics and studies actually supported the view that cops are overwhelmingly racist, maybe I could have supported them. But that's not the case.

Seriously, if cops are that god damned racist, why aren't Hispanics mixed into this thing too? I'm sure you can name plenty of black individuals killed by cops from the countless media coverage storms over the years. But how many Hispanics can you name? Am I to believe that cops are racist towards black people but not hispanics? I've yet to see protests and riots over hispanics losing their lives, let alone Asians or other ethnic minorities.

"Stand up for what you believe in."
Personally I am. I stand against an inherently racist movement, that is being used to undermine democracy and currently threatens the US 1st amendment more than anything else. Because right now, if you go out in public and express an opinion against the dogma of progressivism and BLM, you can say goodbye to your livelihood.

The more I examine USA, the more I realize that the government no longer has the most power over our individual lives. The ones you should look at as the ones ultimately responsible for your rights being trampled on are: activists that masquerade as journalists, the mainstream media and every large corporation that shares into the progressive ideology. They not only have power to influence our lives, by manipulating the information we have access to, and even destroy them through the use of mob justice, but they also have power to influence and control the politicians that will feel compelled to vote certain laws, or else they will be the ones destroyed in the name of "social justice".

You're right, human rights in USA are threatened more than ever. You're just not looking in the right place to see the ones who will be responsible for making 1984 real.

To be fair, it's Bruce's fault for still playing Blizzard games.

Considering his history, he'll either feel compelled to virtue signal to get people off his back preemptively, or he'll ignore all of it.

@TheMadPirate @Elfie@neckbeard.xyz @sjw@neckbeard.xyz @monerica @Jimmietherustle @1iceloops123
MatPat is a bit too close to people at Youtube and other internet media stuff to afford to not virtue signal. Even if he didn't believe any of it, he'd still have to recite the dogma to be able to do the work he does.

I don't know if I can put an exact date on when GG died, but this was indeed a moment when the movement got some of the justice it was looking for. Personally I'm of the opinion that besides making more gamers aware of the issues and drawing them into politics, Gamergate didn't really accomplish much in changing the industry.

Billy started up ok from what I remember back in 2015 or so when I got into things. But he slowly started going extreme. It's a pity.
